Dinner, Snack

Piled high with seasoned beans and veggies, these tostadas are more assembly than cooking. If you’re inviting your floormates to your room for dinner or a late-night snack, you can get extra fancy and add a dollop of sour cream, fresh cilantro or a dash of hot sauce.

This balanced recipe from Veronica Bosgraaf's new cookbook, Pure Food, provides protein from yogurt, and fiber, healthy carbs and antioxidants from the sweet potatoes and spices. These "fries" are actually baked with olive oil and curry and you can easily adjust the recipe to serve one or 10!

Russet potatoes have a dry, starchy flesh that becomes wonderfully fluffy when baked, making them the ideal candidate for these richly spiced twice-baked potatoes. Serrano chiles can be quite hot, so reduce the amount used (or substitute with milder jalapeño) if you prefer this dish to be milder.

We've taken your classic potato skins and given them a southwestern makeover, using hearty black beans, cilantro and a kick of spicy jalapeño. Both the potatoes and the filling can be made in advance and simply assembled and baked the day of your party.
